There are rip offs everywhere. Always do your homework and know what prices things are before purchasing.

The Amazon seller with the highest price for anything gets listed first, when you search for something.

People who don't care or are naive will automatically buy the first item that comes up.

This is on our own site!! not doing an amazon search. Just go to the bottom of the page a couple of times.

I use Amazon a lot and have not seen that as a standard. While the first price listed may be higher, it many times is eligible for free shipping. If you look at those lower prices, they are adding an additional shipping charge that when combined with this product cost shown is usually (though not always) higher than that first items listed that include shipping.

What I have found it that you have to look through ALL the offers to find the lowest TOTAL cost and they are in no particular order other than Amazon generally lists the items direct-shipped by them at the top.

The adds are generated by amazon......Claude has no control over the prices.....Amazon's adds are controlled by their algorithm....

Like someone said...."there are rip-offs everywhere"......I use to track weekly sale prices of a local "big box" store( over a long period of time).....The bigger the sale...The more they increased the prices....Usually when something is 10% or 20% or 30% off....you actually end up paying more than when it's not on sale.....it's an old marketing trick.

I do admire a man that values a dollar though. :hatsoff:

Figured out how to get back at them. Anything we buy from Amazon now comes from a link here, link in buy what you want the board gets paid for the link in!!!! :hatsoff:

I'm doing all my Amazon ordering through the Muzzleloading Forum here on out. Just click the link here, and the Forum gets a small percentage of whatever you end up buying on that Amazon session. I believe it's called "associated links."
